Similar Passions & Interests
You came to IJGA because of your passion for golf. So did your classmates. The friendships you make today and carry through tomorrow will be founded in this passion. The career choices you and your classmates make in the coming years can build bridges and act as support beams as you progress at school, in tournaments, through college, and into the pros.
The Past & Present
Oprah and Gayle. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. These four know why lifelong friendships are important. They understand that regardless of where they are in their lives, there’s always that someone they can call. They ground each other while lifting each other up. This comes from knowing who someone was then and what they are now. The classmates you meet today will always be a bond because of the experiences you share with them at IJGA. No one can take those away or replace them.
Commitment
For many, commitment can be difficult no matter what form it comes in. But what commitment means is that you have the drive and determination to see a situation through to the end. That’s what college and a career are about.
A lifelong friendship is no different. It takes a level of commitment to keep in touch, to make an effort to see each other, or even remember a birthday. The better you are at commitment, the more successful you will be in your golfing career and beyond. When you have friends with you along the way who understand the sacrifices and determination it takes to become a better golfer and a better person, you have someone who understands you and relates to you at levels no one else can.
